Paint soffits without painting myself

Posts: 1 Newbie
Our fascias and soffits need painting. It's years since I last did this, in a previous house, but I remember getting in a right mess. Despite using non-drip paint and only loading one third of the brush, the paint gradually ran down the brush handle and all down my hand and arm. Can anyone offer any advice on how to avoid that this time round? Thanks.

Could you have them replaced with uPVC or could you get someone else to do it for you?

Having done this myself recently, I recommend not overloading the brush; it also helps if you wash and dry the brush once it starts to become a problem.0

It sounds as if you need to watch a couple of You tube videos on how to handle a paintbrush.
You are quite obviously seriously overloading the brush.
Although I did clad mine not long after I built the house in 1978. So no problem with having to paint them0
